Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return (TNVR) program
The City of Kyle's Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return (TNVR) program works with local volunteers, and shelters to trap and impound free-roaming cats, or community cats, to neuter, vaccinate, microchip, ear tip and return cats back to where they were found.
Kyle Animal Control is seeking Volunteer Caregivers to assist with Kyle TNVR Program:
Volunteer Caregivers are volunteers that take on the responsibilities required for the proper maintenance of specific Community Cat colonies such as regular feeding of colonies, human trapping for adoption, neutering, or medical care, monitoring of the colony, and reporting of relevant information and colony data pursuant to TNVR policy guidelines. Volunteer Colony Caregivers assume all responsibility for the humane trapping, maintenance, and management of approved registered colonies.
The process for the humane care and treatment of adult Community Cats and kittens eight weeks of age or older are:
- trapped, impounded, or placed in a carrier or kennel, transported, and temporarily housed and cared for.
- neutered by licensed professional veterinarians.
- vaccinated against rabies.
- ear tipped and microchipped; and
- returned back into their original location, if possible.
If you are interested in getting involved with the TNVR program or learning more, please contact Kyle Animal Control at KPD-ACO@cityofkyle.com.
